Quinnipiac University New York State Poll Finds;
Spitzer Has 6-1 Lead In Primary

Former Federal Housing Secretary Andrew Cuomo leads former New York City Public
Advocate Mark Green 50 - 31 percent among New York State likely Democratic primary
voters in the race for State Attorney General, according to a Quinnipiac University poll
released today. Sean Maloney gets 7 percent, with 11 percent undecided.

This compares to a 48 - 35 percent Cuomo lead in an August 23 poll by the

only race even close to close in tomorrow's Democratic primary," said Maurice Carroll,
director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. "As always, it will come down to
turnout."

From September 5 - 10, Quinnipiac University surveyed 613 New York State likely
Democratic primary voters with a margin of error of +/- 4 percent.

The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D., conducts public
